Jonnas Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Jonnas, your argument was refuted by the Wii. Many people were able to understand Wii Sports in an instant. That understanding will only grow shorter and shorter. The more innovations there are, the more transparency there will be. By that logic, games would've surpassed movies by now, considering how long Tetris and Super Mario Bros. have been around. If the only type of games that can appeal to the masses are incredibly basic games, that doesn't say much about their potential in the eyes of the public, now does it? Films vs. games is still a moot point, like I said, they're not on the same league (and I don't mean that one is better than the other, I'm saying one is an apple and the other one is an orange) Me? A lot of them. Those two are among them, yeah(would you kindly moment in particular). Shadow Of The Colossus too, Braid is a great example (with a fantastic story, once you realise what just happened by the end). I was just mentioning the fact that it's always such a heated and usually dead-end discussion, wether or not games can be art. Well, mainly because nobody knows what "art" exactly is For example, I'm not even taking the linearity of the plot into consideration when I feel a game comes close to art, but you take it as the foundation for your entire reasoning. But I don't really want to spark this discussion again, just wanted to expand on your thought.
